The Critical Work of Pressure Vessel Parts

Pressure vessels move media, including oil, compressed gas, hot water, chemicals, steam, and acid throughout a system. These systems are often essential to military, oil and gas, nuclear, food and beverage, or petrochemical operations, where it is critical that the pressure is retained. A boiler system on an aircraft carrier, a pump at an oil […]

Photo Story: Current Trends in Machining

Machining puts the finishing touches on a casting – smoothing out rough edges to improve the surface area, removing excess material to meet tight tolerances, and adding shine. In recent years, advancements in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology, 5-axis machining and automated processes have been major drivers in foundry machining. Foundries like Stainless Foundry & […]
